  3. When I was first diagnosed, ILO was known as Involuntary Laryngeal Obstruction. It now seems to be referred to as ‘Inducable’.

    “ILO happens when the vocal cords close when they should be open for breathing, creating a narrowing (obstruction) in the upper airway, at the level of the throat. ILO breathing is often noisy, and often misdiagnosed as asthma.”

    It’s terrifying when it happens and it’s difficult not to panic. Mine began following surgery to remove my thyroid (cancer). Apparently throat surgery is commonly the insult that results in ILO. To make matters worse, damage to my right superior laryngeal nerve means my larynx is permanently half closed, meaning there’s physically half the space for me to draw in air anyway.

    My triggers are mainly cold, humidity and exercise (sadly no more running for me). But the recent weather has been a new trial. Surgery saved my life, but I’m now living in a very different body. #ILO #VocalCords #Larynx

    • Crayfish shell waste
    • Fishmeal
    • Seaweed meal
    • Microalgae proteins
    • Mineral additives

    Processing:

    • Drying
    • Milling
    • Pelletizing
    • Protein balancing
    • Packaging

    Outputs:

    • Abalone grower feed
    • Juvenile starter feed
    • High-protein marine pellets

    Strategic Advantages

    • Access to the Benguela Current ecosystem
    • Low raw material transport costs
    • Existing export infrastructure via Port of Walvis Bay
    • Circular economy use of marine waste
    • Regional first-mover advantage

    • Plant setup: N$8M – N$15M
    • Processing equipment: N$4M – N$8M
    • Storage/logistics: N$2M – N$4M

    Revenue Potential (Year 3–5):

    • Feed sales to domestic farms
    • Export feed contracts to South Africa
    • By-product sales

    Projected EBITDA Margin: 18–32%

    Risk Factors

    • Raw material supply consistency
    • Regulatory approvals
    • Technical formulation precision
    • Power and water cost exposure

    Exit Strategy

    Potential exits include:

    • Strategic sale to aquaculture operators
    • Joint venture with marine protein firms
